Aspyn, in a willow.
After work, today, I went into the garden to chill out for a wee while. It’s been a few days since I was able to do this as it’s been very wet and windy. Today, though, it was mild and calm.
Aspyn was pleased as she would run around, stalk a fallen leaf, scale some trees, and the amble over to me for a chat and a cuddle. A lovely way to relax and power down.
In my garden,
South Carrick Hills
SW Scotland
“And the world, the world turns around
And the world and the world, the world drags me down…
The fire in your eyes keeps me alive
And the fire in your eyes keeps me alive
I'm sure in her you'll find sanctuary
I'm sure in her you'll find sanctuary.”
🎼 “She Sells Sanctuary” - The Cult

So we're on the harbour again.
Looking south-west to Barangaroo and the ANZAC bridge.

Near Lavender Bay.
And here's 'The Cult' with their classic song 'She Sells Sanctuary':

Is it too late for me
To sell my soul unto the Devil
Is it too late for me to pray
That God keeps you alive
Ask yourself: when you're on a trip and visit a place you've never been before, do you go to these souvenir shops to buy something that reminds you of that place? I usually do and what I always buy from the place I visit, is a shot glass. Aside from that, i find it interesting to browse through these memorabillia shops. Most people will think that they have cheap stuff or things of mass production with no character at all. However, some times you may find a few gems in them, something that is really local and traditional! for me, those shops feel like places that "sell memories".
PS: for those who will take a closer look at my photo, on the table of the very right postcard (taken at the island of Santorini) is a plate of "gemista" (rice stuffed tomatoes), a "village salad" and a piece of ... (my favorite) moussaka! :-)
Ρωτηστε τον εαυτο σας: οταν επισκεπτεσθε ενα μερος που δεν εχετε ξαναπαει, μπαινετε στα σουβενιραδικα να αγορασετε πραγματα που θα σας θυμιζουν αυτην το ταξιδι; εγω συνηθως το κανω και αυτο που παιρνω απο καθε μερος ειναι ενα σφηνοποτηρο. Περαν αυτου ομως, θεωρω πολυ ενδιαφερον το να τριγυρναω μεσα σε αυτα τα μαγαζακια. Οι περισσοτεροι μπορει να πουν οτι ειναι γεματα με πραγματα φτηνα, πραγματα μαζικης παραγωγης και χωρις χαρακτηρα. Μερικες φορες ομως μπορει να πετυχεις καποια πολυ ομορφα, ντοπια και παραδοσιακα πραγματα. Για μενα, αυτα τα μαγαζακια μοιαζουν με μερη που "πουλανε αναμνησεις"
ΥΓ: ε οχι! δε θα αναλυσω τι υπαρχει στο τραπεζι της δεξιας καρτ ποσταλ! οποιοσδηποτε μπορει να διαβασει το ελληνικο κειμενο ΞΕΡΕΙ!
One of my favorite musicians, Jeffrey Foucault, often write lyrics about small town America. The song "Cross of Flowers" has a verse:
"There's a junked out car in the tall grass
It ain't ever gonna sell"
Yup, that about sums it up.

Seen at the Southaven flea market. The guy seen earlier in 2014, selling new VHS movies as his main item, was nowhere to be found on this visit!
